I stopped believing anything that came out of his mouth the moment he first opened it in Parliament.

Sure. I'd love to see him try to stop people from getting together at Thanksgiving, or enforce any of this nonsense. People are tired of his rhetoric nonsense.

Please just cancel Halloween. I don't want any infected kids breathing on me at the door with this crap going on right now.

I would take his word over that of Rand Paul or Trump in a heartbeat.
975,000 dead worldwide so far and people still think it is a joke.

It’s provinces that create and enforce the rules Einstein.

Same as in the states. So please remember that when you are trying to blame the pandemic on the Trump administration. Blue states (like New York) were saying that nursing homes had to accept patients that were positive for covid 19. Trump was not telling nursing homes that they had to accept covid 19 patients. Democrats were calling Trump a racist for wanting to shut down travel from China (where the virus originated) yet many of you Canadians are fine with shutting down the border with the U.S. So why are you not calling yourselves racists for shutting down borders?
A handful of blue states make up the vast, vast majority of the cases and deaths in the U.S., yet people like you are continually trying to blame Trump. Every state made their own decisions on how to respond, yet you want to blame Trump. When someone wants to blame Trudeau, you want to point out that the provinces create and enforce the rules. Sounds like a HUGE double standard to me!!!

I had a big long response to this and then the site shit itself and I'm frankly too lazy to retype it in full, so I'll shorten it.
1) Trump is blamed because idiot republicans follow his lead. When he says "it affects virtually nobody" people believe him and then don't follow proper safety protocols. And then stupid republican governors don't allow for proper controls, because they want to be seen sucking up to this infantile piece of shit.
I'm curious, if someone came out and said "No more 9/11 remembrance stuff from the government, virtually no one died" you'd be a little pissed right? How about "No more memorial day, virtually no one died in WW1".
2) Blue states are almost all doing better than red states right now. The top 10 worst states for new cases per capita are all red, the bottom 10 and blue. Several blue states got hit really hard because they are densely populated and have significant travel going through them (like New york). They are doing better than pretty much every super red state now.
3)Saying a "handful of blue states make up the vast majority of the cases and death in the U.S." is expected. Two huge blue states make up 20% of your countries population. Of course they're going to be hit harder by something that requires distancing between people.
It's also untrue. Of the top 5 highest number of cases by state, 2 are blue and make up 1.3 million cases. The other 3 are red, 1.75 million.
4)He's pointing out that to blame Trudeau for Ontario shutting down again is fucking stupid because Ford and Trudeau don't like each other and are opposite sides of the political spectrum. Ford isn't going to do anything just because Trudeau asked him to. Governor fuckface from any given red state WILL do something because Trump said so. That's the difference. You president has fostered a cult following of incompetence and fearing science.

Trump got in the way of masks going out when they were needed and made the virus far worse.

I too had a similar post written and tried to submit it after the site died, so it was also lost - fortunately, your post covers all the points I had and adds a one more (#4) I hadn't thought of.
